During a police round-up, Mercedes witnesses the unjust murder of her son, a working-class man, by a police captain. Refusing to accept the official version of the story - that her son was a criminal - she launches a campaign for justice.

As the investigation develops, the film exposes the depth of Venezuela's corruption.
